Quality Assurance Oracle Fusion Middleware Suite

Michael Meiner

Michael Meiner is an Engineering Director at Oracle Corporation. His organization is responsible for lifecycle Quality Assurance of the Fusion Middleware Suite of products, including: installation, configuration, upgrade, test-to-production and interoperability on a range of computing platforms and Operating Systems. The Fusion Middleware product suite supports both On-Premise as well as Cloud offerings.

A development environment typically consists of a single-server J2EE
container for unit testing Web and enterprise J2EE applications. In contrast
a production environment is far more likely to be a complex, clustered
configuration. Problems discovered during production-level testing often
require looping back to the development team for modification of the Web or
enterprise application. Many of these issues can be caught earlier in the
cycle by having the development team perform unit testing against a clustered
environment. This tutorial presents a straightforward way for developers to
try their applications in a cluster by utilizing the WebLogic Scripting Tool
(WLST) to automatically provision applications into this environment.
The first part of this tutorial describes how to deploy your Web applications
in a cluster using WLST. The second part adds BEA Workshop S... (more)

From On-Premise to Infrastructure as a Service
My first blog showed how to move to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) using
Tomcat. This blog will show how to do the same using WebLogic Server,
deploying webapps via eclipse to a remote WebLogic instance running in the
cloud.
Let’s say we plan to move our app to production on Amazon Elastic Cloud
(EC2). We have already developed the application using eclipse and have
tested it on WebLogic running locally. Now, we may want to test our app on
an EC2 environment before moving to production.
First, we need to obtain an EC2 cloud in... (more)

Moving From On-Premise to Infrastructure As a Service
Let’s say we developed an application and plan to move our app to
production on Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2). Our application, in the form of a
webapp, was developed using eclipse and we have tested it on Tomcat running
locally. Now, we may want to test our app on an EC2 environment before moving
to production.
First, we need to obtain an EC2 cloud instance. To keep costs down, I
selected the free offering which offers a 1GB Linux instance. This is
sufficient to run a basic tomcat installation. I found this article to help
me ... (more)

Case Study: Moving from On-Premise to Cloud
In this article, we take web applications developed for on-premise and move
to the cloud. We first prepare the applications, then we prepare the cloud
and finally we deploy our apps to the cloud.
Preparing the Apps
For this exercise, we will be using two applications:
A sample application (sample.war) from Tomcat (available here) A sample
application (examplesWebApp.war) from WebLogic (available as part of the WLS
10.3.6 install)
You can try deploying these apps to tomcat and WebLogic respectively, using a
local installation (ie, on prem... (more)

Cloud Expo

Cloud Computing & All That
It Touches In One Location Cloud Computing - Big Data - Internet of Things
SDDC - WebRTC - DevOps
Cloud computing is become a norm within enterprise IT.

The competition among public cloud providers is red hot, private cloud continues to grab increasing shares of IT budgets, and hybrid cloud strategies are beginning to conquer the enterprise IT world.

Big Data is driving dramatic leaps in resource requirements and capabilities, and now the Internet of Things promises an exponential leap in the size of the Internet and Worldwide Web.

The world of SDX now encompasses Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) as the technology world prepares for the Zettabyte Age.

Add the key topics of WebRTC and DevOps into the mix, and you have three days of pure cloud computing that you simply cannot miss.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

Cloud Expo - the world's most established event - offers a vast selection of 130+ technical and strategic Industry Keynotes, General Sessions, Breakout Sessions, and signature Power Panels. The exhibition floor features 100+ exhibitors offering specific solutions and comprehensive strategies. The floor also features two Demo Theaters that give delegates the opportunity to get even closer to the technology they want to see and the people who offer it.

Attend Cloud Expo. Craft your own custom experience. Learn the latest from the world's best technologists. Find the vendors you want and put them to the test.
